I have a web server running windows 2003, and IIS 6. At the moment i have a secure folder which is protected using windows authentication (mum be a user on the server to access the folder through the web). I want to make it so that when a user logs in it will display there name, which is grabed from the server.

Can anyone help ??

Thanks,
Matthew Rollins

response.write request.servervariables("LOGON_USER")

Sorry, im a real beginer at this kind of stuff. I worked out that it is to be an .asp page. but i have absolutley no experiance with ASP. I tried inserting the code, as is, but that didnt work, i tried brackets < > and ( ) and [ ] and { }.

As i said before i am an absolute beginer in this.

and again PLEASE HELP

Thanks,
Matthew Rollins

The delimiters for ASP are "<%" & "%>"

So

<%
response.write request.servervariables("LOGON_USER")
%>

That works perfect, thanks.

Is there a way of making it so that it doesnt show the computer name, just the user ?

Yes, you will have to parse the string that is returned.

I am assuming that the return value is something like:

//ComputerName/Paris.Hilton

And you just want:

Paris.Hilton

in the login field?

Then try this:
<%
strUser = request.servervariables("LOGON_USER") 'This gets your full user name
Response.write (Mid(strUser,(InstrRev(strUser,"/")+1))) 'this cuts it off at the last /
%>

YM

<%
response.write request.servervariables("SERVER_NAME")
%>
would display ServerName

you can find a list of server variables here:
List of Request.ServerVariables

request.servervariables("SERVER_NAME") will return the HTTP name (domain name) of the server NOT the NETBIOS name

I thought it was asked

actually the OP asked how NOT to show the computer name.

Ok...

hmm it depends what your hosting .asp doesnt like that kinda stuff for sum strange reason
